Hey guys. I’ve been running Reta, BPC, TB500 and GHK for almost three months now. The Reta is working well, which is the only thing keeping me optimistic about my source (which I found here) I’m not worried about its effectiveness at all and enjoying the weight loss results.

Here’s how much of the others I’m taking…

BPC -1mg every day (give or take 3 days per month)
GHK- 3mg every day (give or take 3 days per month)
TB500- Loaded 3mg 3 times weekly for 2 weeks now doing 3mg weekly (once per week)

I have noticed almost nothing from these peptides, my skin isn’t getting any better and I don’t really seem to be recovering any faster. Am I not taking enough? Or is it very possible that they are duds?
 
Those 3 are much more subtle than reta. It can take several skin cycles for improvement to be visible, and each skin cycle is 4-6 weeks. I'd recommend taking "before" pics if you haven't already. The first thing I noticed was that my skin feels softer and the calluses on my hands and heels are thinner and don't crack like they used to. That was a few months in.
 
I think, there is a reason a lot of the other peptides didn't become 'pharma drugs'.
Because they don't have consistent effects.
A lot of people feel nothing.
I do feel an effect froim ghk-cu, skin looks better less rosacea and wrinckles are less deep.
 
I take a cycle of BPC/TB when I have an injury/pain or if I’m doing a cycle of really intense training that’s above my normal training pattern.
I think of it like taking panadol. I don’t take it everyday. Only when I actually need it.
 
Reta has been prove to work in large scale human trials, it is not yet approved as it has not finished the stage 3 studies but is very likely to in the near future. At this stage it looks like the most effective anti obesity medication ever invented ( that does not possibly kill you ).
BPC and GHK as systemic treatments, (not on skin only) have not been tested in human trials at all. Their safety or effectiveness as a treatment for any human illness or on health in general are unknown.
TB500 has had a few very specific studies in humans and development is ongoing, so at least it has some sort of safety info.
So out of 4 peptides, one with good scientific evidence it works, one actually works, and the other 3 highly experimental, don't seem to do much. This should not be that surprising. There is good evidence that these 3 peptides have possibly strong biological effects, from cell or animal studies, but anecdotal reports online of it working is not the same as clinical trial data, in terms of safety from unknown adverse effects or effectiveness. And I think it is safe to say that no one really knows exactly what these peptides do.

bpc helped me with back pain due to protrusions. also with foot injury. Improvement was after 2 injections. 500 mg / 10 days.
In case of tendon sprain, the effect is zero

I think you meant 500mcg instead
 
I've ran the 'wolverine' stack twice due to injury and... nada. I've also purchased a $350 tiny jar of eye cream because my theory was that if it was THAT expensive it HAD to work.
This is not new. Snake oil (and the selling of it) is an entrenched part of human civilization. I sometimes wish my brain was more powerful and could at least tap into the placebo effect once in a while though.

Thanks for replying. Are you saying you took 500mg of BPC in 10 days???

I guess I had hoped they would work the way they seem to work for a hell of a lot of other people. There are thousands of people that have posted amazing results from the use of BPC and TB500 on injury and recovery and the same for GHK and the effect it has on skin. I don’t think it was naive of me to hope it would also work for me 😅 I think it’s a bit of a stretch to say I shouldn’t be surprised.
 
I like KPV and think that it has helped my joints and possibly helped to clear up my dermatitis a bit. I'm a month into a 3 month cycle. The inflammation in my knees and elbows does reduce, it just doesn't stay that way. So not a cure, but I don't think it's advertised as one.

There was a Redditor a few months ago that claimed that KPV completely cleared her skin in three months, like it was a miracle. I'm not there yet and this may be an exaggeration, but we'll see

I do think the three Russian peptides are pretty effective and regulars are probably tired of me talking about them. I think if you're in the older demographic and have a brain injury from COVID, or a TBI, they are worth investigating.
 
One of the problems I see with people using these mostly untested in humans peptides, is that assuming you are a bit older then over the next 5 to 10 years a significant number of people who have used them are going to get a cancer or heart disease or some other major health issue, and there will never be any way to tell if those peptides caused it or made that event more likely, probably not , but there is no way to ever know.

I think there is a very large population of people using bpc/tb. I heard about wolverine stack/peptides long before I'd heard about grey anything. Which means that athletes/crossfitters/gym bros have been using those for a long time. But your point is valid about the paucity of actual research.

Maybe AI research chemical models will take a bigger leap. I could see where you could do an entire "study" simulated.
 
There is huge number of people online taking those peptides, but unfortunately the data from their posts about their experiences is too inconsistent, too self selected, the drugs and doses too variable to ever extract scientifically valid information.
If several people using a particular peptide get some serious adverse effect then that sort of signal probably is useful and would be worth investigating, but it would need to be distinctive, not just a increase in risk of a common problem to stand out over the noisy data.
And online opinions are useful to get a feel for the sort of subjective side effects you might get from glp medications, in a way that the studies or drug company information does not make clear.
 
My wife is 62 and has been taking GLOW for about 6 months now. Has taken about 10 yrs off her face and thickened her hair. Now all her friends are taking it.

I actually take it off and on. No real effects on my face as I am ruggedly handsome.

Does she cycle or use it continuously?
